I'm a top floor flat and the basement are getting a dripping into their back courtyard from the overflow pipe. Before getting to them it comes down from us, along the top of a flat roof and down, and that flat roof part also looks and sounds like it's letting water out. It doesn't look like any other flats connect to it before then and it only goes up our roof to an open dead end (?!?) and then there's one large and 3 small pipes coming out our wall from our kitchen area.
It's been going on a while apparently and we haven't noticed and drips or noises. I just turned everything off, including the fridge, unscrewed the boiler cover, put my eye under the sink, under the kickboards and against the bath and toilet basin and I can't hear a thing.
The only thing I haven't checked yet is the tank in the loft but will that even be connected to the overflow pipe?
Basically, where should I look and what should I be looking for in terms of common causes? If I can't find anything the management company will have to get a plumber out anyway but I prefer to just sort things out myself if I can rather than bearing the brunt of increased management fees next year.
